Vacuum doesnot stay upright. Is the pedal broken or missing a spring or something?

I am replacing a foot pedal on an upright Sharp vacuum cleaner-EC-TU2607.
I have the broken foot pedal removed from vacuum cleaner proper but it is the removal of the broken pedal from its spring load that has me puzzled.
I applied some pulling effort on the pin that holds the spring in place but there doesn't seem to be any give.
Is that the correct approach or is there something else that one should be doing first to release some of the resistance by the pin or spring?
Thanks!

My 9 year old Sebo X4 will not stay in the upright position. The foot pedal no longer springs back to hold the machine in the upright position. Has a spring broken? Which part needs replacing?

I took my Dyson DC 25 Animal apart to clean it, and now the red foot pedal won't lock the vacuum into the upright position anymore. The trouble is the spring pin for the pedal popped out and I can't figure out where it is supposed to go.

That spring thing goes where the pedal screws into the side. When 'facing' the dyson in the front, it's on the left side. The spring's circle part and short stem section goes into a divot area on the pedal. The other end is tensioned (braced) a ...
Dyson DC25 All Floors Bagless Upright Vacuum

The kick stand that lowers the vacuum when in use got in a position where the red foot pedal would not come back up to bring the wheels down and the vacuum rest in the upright position. We took it apart and corrected the position, but the side with the small circular spring came out and we are not sure how to attach it back, exactly where it hooks onto. Can you help show us where it goes?

The foot pedal on my Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner has broken three times. The vacuum model number is 116.33923 and the Sear's part number is 8174906. Does Sears make this part in metal instead of plastic? It is becoming expensive to keep replacing this piece when it costs around $20 each time (including shipping)
Thank you for your time.

I have a kenmore upright 12 amp (M.N. 116.30003402C) vacuum that is not drawing anything up the hoes. There is no obstrution in the hoes and motor, belts, components are working, but there seems to be perhaps something missing(a part) or lost in the macinism that aids in drawing the air required to **** dust/dirt through the hoes and into the bag. Perhaps a diagram of parts and their function would help. Thank you.

Dyson vacuum I have a DC07 vaccuum. The problem I am having is that the front does not want to stay down as I vaccuum and I continuously have to keep stepping on the front to make it go back down to the floor. It seems as though there is either not enough weight in the front or possibly the unit just has to be broken in so that there is not so much resistance between the handle and the front of the vaccuum. Could there be something I did not remove or is this typical on these vaccuums?

There is some thing broken it is two plastic cogs they help the front go down and stay up you will have to get a star screw driver and there should be two screws on top and two at the b ...

I have a Hoover Elite Rewind model #uh71009. We moved recently and it was jostled around and the red power switch popped out. I put it back in but it's stuck; it stays either left or right, it doesnt move back and forth. It appears there may be another piece missing from the power switch...all I have is the red switch and a tiny cylindrical metal tube with a spring on one end. This piece fits into the hole on the red switch. Inside the vacuum itself where this goes, there is quite a large cavity

I have a Hoover Windtunnel Dual V. The vacuum and I did a tumble down stairs and the handle release pedal was broken. Is that something I can order a part for and have my husband put on? If so, where would I obtain the part?

I have a Euro-Pro Shark UV-204. The Vacuum turns on, motor sounds fine, and suction is as strong as ever. Still picks everything up in its path. However, the bristels on the bottom do not rotate around, the belt is not broken or loose. Is there something I'm missing?

Panasonic mc-e4113 Upright vacuum. The belt that drives the brush in front is broken I have found a spare for this but there seems to be a pulley missing on the main drive shaft that the belt needs to fit on. I can't believe that there wouldn't be one? Can anyone tell me if this is the case and if so where I can get one from.
Many thanks

The foot pedal on my Kenmore 116-31912100 stays in down position like a spring is broken.

The plastic tab on the foot pedal that acted as a return spring has broken off of the foot pedal. It's Macgyver time! For the not-so-mechanically inclined, this involves tape and rubberbands. For the somewhat mechanically inclined, a drill and small ...

Foot latch is broken. need to replace with new one. how does one access to remove the foot pedal latch. By foot latch, I mean the foot lever that releases the upright to lower the handle and begin vacuuming.

It is accessed from the bottom underneath by the rear wheel. However, If there are and cracks on the pedal release socket area then the base will need replacement. parts are little cost but the unit needs to be completely disassembled. ...

My FIL purchased an Electrolux bagless canister vacuum model EL5 76501 last year. When I tried to use it today, the hose keeps pulling out of the power brush whenever I pull it towards me. it doesn't seem like anything has broken off. The only thing I noticed was that the rubber ring washer seems to be flattened. Could it be something that simple or do you think some part has fallen off and gone missing?

My bissell 3910T won't stay upright. Is there a spring that may have fallen off?

I removed the brush from bottom of the vacuum to remove hair from the bristles. When I re-assembled the vacuum, there was no longer suction. Also, the vacuum no longer stands upright when not in use. It's like something is blocking the upright portion from locking.
